Yes, you are correct Mark, for a rotor hole it is acceptable. Just the performance that I have witnessed first hand from a flow jet, the results are not really that impressive. Like I said though, it could just be the machine they have at work and/or the the operator/programmer. From what I have seen from a laser though, within its cuting capability the flow jet is no match for a laser it terms of accuracy, speed and finished product. When you get into thicker materials is where I belive the flow jets start to beat out the competition.
w/out going into too much detail... we cut armor plate on a water jet.
mostly boils down to the operator and how the maschine is set up. just like a conventional machining operation it boils down to speed of the tool and quality and correct application of cutting tool (or media). ive seen some fairly impressive results when the operator actually cares. but i do agree, laser wouldbe preferred and oyu could do some really intersting stuff w/it
